A few days ago I was called to a 'swarm' at a big house. There wasn't a swarm, but hundreds of bees were investigating every crack and crevice of the place (for the full story, see www.chrissladesbeeblog.wordpress.com ) . Clearly a swarm was likely to arrive before long so I set up a skep, enhanced with a bit of old comb, on the roof of the porch. About 4 hours later the swarm arrived and hived itself in my skep.
